Anycubic printers

Affordable FDM and plenty of resin

Strong in both budget FDM (Kobra) and LCD resin (Photon), which is where it really excels. Good value for money with firmware that is more closed off than Creality's.

Models and links to their official manual

Each model with a quick spec sheet and a direct link to the brand's official documentation.

What they do well

  • Very competitive pricing with automatic bed levelling as standard
  • In resin, excellent detail quality for little money
  • Compact, enclosed machines, good for home use

Where they give trouble

  • The Kobra extruder struggles with TPU and abrasive filaments
  • Resin requires gloves, ventilation and curing: it's not a living room hobby
  • Conservative official profiles; you gain a lot with Orca

Workshop tips for Anycubic

Fail-safe resin

Always print the manufacturer's exposure matrix before a long print: an extra 0.5 s will round off all fine detail.

FEP and cleaning

Filter the resin after every fail and check the FEP: cured debris stuck to the bottom ruins the next print and scratches the sheet.

Kobra with PETG

Lower the flow by 3 % and increase retraction to ~1 mm; the stock hotend leaves quite a bit of stringing with PETG.
